[Peter Yang @petergyang]

I used to be a die-hard Claude Code user.

Codex has won me over because:

→ GPT-5.5 is excellent
→ Fast mode + generous limits = more reps
→ Little touches like steering, auto remote control on phone, etc

But most of all Codex's browser and computer use capabilities are simply goated. I built so many workflows relying on those two things alone instead of hunting for APIs.

I still use Claude Code too. The app seems to be getting better and the design and frontend capability of Opus is still much better than GPT. Whenever Fable comes back that's another reason to go back.

Honestly, I hope these two compete forever and other players (Cursor/Grok, Gemini, etc) all stay competitive.

This way the builder keeps winning 🙂

The disparity of the token rich vs the token poor is going to become stark.

It's going to be so stark that it will heavily, heavily incentivise people to come up with an alternative

Boris Cherny and Bun's creator live-coded on stage at Anthropic's conference. They shipped 3 production PRs. The audience watched.

"This entire thing was one prompt, and that just ran for 30 minutes."

In 32 minutes, Bun's creator walks through the setup running his repo while he sleeps.

> AI bots arguing 30 rounds on every PR
> a bot that out-commits Bun's creator
> Bun being rewritten in Rust by Claude
> the image library Claude built to beat sharp

The bot writes the code. The human merges the suggestions. None of this worked three months ago.

[Isaac @imann04]

Yeah, basically. Back threes often invite pressure if you've not got two of them that are excellent distributors. Australia only has Circati

@MBthegoat678 @scout_aussie It was 2v1 for him. He's a fast and skilful forward, he thrives in 1v1

[Isaac @imann04]

Popa obviously hoped Leckie and Vilupillay could hold them out for 50-60 physically before calling on Metcalfe, Irankunda and Volpato - but Leckie and Vilupillay have less technical quality (and play in a lower intensity league) so they lost control.

[AussieScout @scout_aussie]

FT thoughts:
- Australia was dominated physically in the first half by a more skilful, athletic and intense team. That said, the second half was more even - and the USA barely created a chance of note from open play.
- Cristian Volpato was sensational. Good things come to those who wait.
- The USA choked Australia in the first half with constant forward runs and by quickly stepping forward when they lost the ball. They won almost all second balls.
- The introduction of Metcalfe added so much more control and technique to the midfield. He needs to start.
- Our last-ditch defence was excellent. As I said, the USA were dominant but they were limited to almost no real chances. They scored an own-goal and a very jammy second ball set piece goal.
- I was impressed by the performances of our two holding midfielders. Aiden O’Neill has grown a lot as a player. Okon-Engstler had his best game on the ball in a Socceroos jersey.

[Isaac @imann04]

The thing with LLMs is you can give it half a sniff of a plan and then alternate between planning and review... And it'll generate really decent consulting level information.

The challenge becomes building political capital and the change mgmt.

Consultants can't help that.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

100%.

"AI will replace SaaS" always felt too far-fetched and yet talked about everywhere

"AI will replace lots of consultants [by brining work in-house]" barely mentioned but likely happening a lot more, and a lot more realistic threat to consulting

[Isaac @imann04]

Donovan showing all his diplomacy, he dealt so well with their games against Mexico and not taking them playing well personally

[Unfiltered Soccer @UnfilteredSoccr]

Landon gives a passionate stance on how Tim Ream can protect Pulisic if he plays against Australia.

"If I'm Tim Ream, probably just before kickoff, I go up to the referee and I say, 'Here's what's gonna happen. The first time Christian touches the ball, he's gonna get smashed, and I better see a yellow card. And if I don't, when we retaliate, I better not see a yellow card. So, if you wanna play that game all day, we're gonna beat the shit out of them, but I better not see a yellow card unless you give whoever smashes Christian a yellow card right away.'"

[Ben Dickson @bendee983]

One of the biggest problems with the AI discourse right now is that if you're one bit critical of LLMs, a big portion of the AI community dismisses you as anti-AI or something like that.

Yann has had some of the most nuanced and balanced takes on LLMs, but apparently, it's not enough to the LLM-absolutist crowd.

[Isaac @imann04]

They were also the type of player Slot wanted...

[DaveOCKOP @DaveOCKOP]

Confident that Yan Diomande gets done from here. Can't see Liverpool bidding without knowing everything else is in place.

There's always a bit of postering from the selling club. *We negotiated hard, we rejected the first offer*.

Yan Diomande and Victor Munoz would be great additions. They are fast pace players. What Iraola wants. High pressure with speed.

[Yuchen Jin @Yuchenj_UW]

Noam’s leaving Google makes Gemini’s future feel uncertain.

More than one DeepMind person has told me Noam saved Gemini. There’s even lore that he tweaked a few lines of training code and Gemini’s quality instantly jumped.

Gemini’s coding ability still feels behind. I really hope Gemini can find its way back to its former glory. We need more model choices.

[Isaac @imann04]

@ludwigABAP Do you have an alternative that has the power of nice markdown and document database/repository all in one? I've been looking for a while

[Isaac @imann04]

Data creating a bias and all that, when you're in a poor side your efforts aren't going to be rewarded as much

So people should be looking at his input data and the eye test, rather than G/A

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

For those Liverpool fans who haven’t watched Victor Munoz play, let me tell you a bit about him as someone who has watched him a lot and a big fan of him.

First thing I’ll say is that, this is the best £35m deal you’ll ever get, especially when you consider this inflated market.

I’ll start by likening him to one of your ex-players, maybe a Craig Bellamy. He moves in a similar way. He’s like a street baller, very quick, and can strike the ball.

Oh! and when he dribbles, he can go both sides too (he’s not one-way Gakpo I assure you😭), and he can shoot the ball with both feet.

He’s not scored many goals in his short career, but his catalogue of goals are full of “bangers”, which buttresses what I said earlier about his ball-striking ability,

He’s also raw to an extent and I think Iraola will get the best out of him. They speak same language and both Spaniards, the communication on the demands will be seamless.

I also believe he has the attributes to survive in the prem, he isn’t a pushover, he won’t back down on taking any player on, he’s fast and strong. If you see his physique, you’d know he does some liftings😅

I really love him and I hope he does well for you guys.

[Isaac @imann04]

Just... Loooooool

Anyone with a brain has been pointing out the externalities/second order effects for years. It had to come to a point though where those actually mattered, as they often take time to be fully realised

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

For years I have been saying that LLMs are not reliable enough to be sound.

That simple claim — which has never been refuted — is suddenly at the center of the universe.

What Trump asks cannot be done. NO current system can completely resist circumvention.

Either we curtail LLMs until we find a better technology, or we live with consequences.

This is not an Anthropic problem, it’s a Generative AI problem.
